History
Performance Marine was Founded by Jene and Darin Whitaker in 1978. Growing up in Lake Placid with all the lakes and waterways Jene and Darin felt the need for a business to serve boaters in their community by providing high-quality products and service. They built a small shop on U.S. Highway 27 just north town with a showroom, service bays, and fenced in the property for boats on display or being repaired. As their customer base grew so did the shop. They hired on mechanics, sales persons, and rigging techs. To this day our certified service technicians are the best on hand as well as a fully equipped machine shop with over 200 years combined experience to help with any service or repair need. Our friendly staff looks forward to helping you with all your boating needs, including new & used boat sales, boat service and repair, and a complete online mercury marine parts catalog where customers may take advantage of genuine mercury marine parts at discount prices.
